Description
The SMR100 has a urethane sphere housing composed of two hemispherical shells with an inner diameter of 20cm. The shells are connected with a simple threaded flange connecting ring. The test cube assembly can be quickly removed without tools for greater imaging flexibility and easy access for cleaning and maintenance. The Magphan SMR100 phantoms are shipped without any fluid. Customers must fill them with appropriate MR solutions.
Test Cube: Both the cylindrical and spherical Magphan use a 10cm test cube for image quality measurements. Manufactured from 6mm-thick polycarbonate plastic the test cube has an outer diameter of 10cm. The test cube contains the slice thickness ramps, sensitometry vials, a high resolution test plate and a low contrast disk.
